Healthy People 2010 identifies national health objectives for the year 2010, including diabetes objectives.
Data 2010 finds the latest data for each objective.
Examples of diabetes-related data from these sources:
(The objective number, e.g., 05-06, has two components. The first number refers to one of 28 Healthy People chapters or "focus areas" and the second refers to a specific objective within the focus area.)

‡2010 goals taken from Healthy People 2010.
CDC's Diabetes Surveillance System compiles and translates data from multiple sources, including the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, the National Hospital Discharge Survey, and the U.S. Bureau of the Census.
| | Example of Diabetes Surveillance System data: |
| | In twenty-five states (AL, AZ, FL, GA, HI, ID, IN, KY, ME, MN, MI, MS, MT, NY, NC, ND, OK, OH, OR, SC, SD, TN, WA, WY, and WV), the age-adjusted prevalence of diabetes was at least 50% higher in 2003 than in 1994. In 2003, the crude prevalence of diagnosed diabetes ranged from a high of 10.7 percent in Puerto Rico to a low of 4.3 percent in Alaska.

HEDIS or the Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set measures the performance of more than 500 commercial, Medicaid and Medicare managed care organizations (MCOs) to allow consumers to compare MCOs. The National Committee for Quality Assurance's annual State of Health Care Quality report provides an overview of MCOs' performance. Diabetes data from this report is provided below.

*Lower rates are better than higher ones for this measure.
Measure Definition: Percentage of health plan members with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes that were ages 18-75 and, during the measurement year, had: 1) a hemoglobin A1c test, 2) poorly controlled hemoglobin A1c (level greater than 9.5 percent), 3) a serum cholesterol level screening, 4) their cholesterol level (LDL-C) controlled to less than 130 mg/dL, 5) an eye exam, and 6) screening for kidney disease (microalbuminuria test).
